🎃It's almost fall! Do you know what that means? 🍂
🦇 We are prepping for our annual Bordentown City Costume Swap! 👻
Come see us at the Bordentown City Farmers Market tomorrow, Sunday, September 6, from 9 AM–1 PM as we begin collecting costumes for this year’s Green Team Costume Swap!
Have a gently used costume your family has outgrown or is ready to pass along? Bring it by and help give it another Halloween adventure. ♻️
Stop by, say hi, drop off a costume, and enjoy the market. We can’t wait to see you! 🎃💚

We've erradicated almost all of the highly invasive Japanese knotweed in this park and plan to re-plant the area with native plants in the spring.

In addition to our shop and play event, this month, one of our volunteers will host a special Toy Hospital. Bring your broken toys to see whether we can repair them. If they cannot be fixed, recycle them responsibly with us!
Join us for toy sharing, repairs, recycling, and community fun.

We've been making real progress here clearing invasive Japanese Knotweed and replacing with native plants but there's still MORE! Japanese knotweed is highly invasive and creates large monocultures that provide little for wildlife.

We've been making real progress here — last year we cleared significant stands of invasive Japanese Knotweed, and just last month we replanted one of those cleared areas with native plants. This park is home to wild turkeys, fox, and eastern box turtles, and every bit of restoration work helps protect the habitat they depend on.
Come help us keep the momentum going! No experience necessary. Sign-up at tinyurl.com/BTGTWorkDay
📍 Oliver Street Park (Oliver & W. Chestnut Streets)

No experience necessary — just bring gloves and a willingness to dig in. And if we get at least 10 volunteers? Donuts. 🍩
Sign up at tinyurl.com/BTGTWorkDay or just show up!
Hosted by the Bordentown City Environmental Commission 💚
I kept the donut incentive for the one-week post since that's when you really want to drive turnout. Want me to add it to the two-week post as well?

🌿 Mark your calendars! On Sunday, May 3, the Bordentown City Environmental Commission is hosting a Habitat Restoration Volunteer Day at Oliver Street Park from 10 AM–12 PM.
Last year we worked hard to eradicate Japanese Knotweed from this area — now it's time for the fun part: filling it back in with native plants! We've got a LOT of planting to do, so we really need your help. Many hands make light work!
Sign up at tinyurl.com/BTGTWorkDay (encouraged, but not required).

📄 The Paper Shredder is coming to town! Bring your sensitive documents to Bordentown Township Public Works (266 Crosswicks Rd) on Saturday, May 9 from 9 AM–12 PM for free, secure paper shredding — co-sponsored by the Bordentown City & Township Environmental Commissions.
It's also Citywide Yardsale day, so shred your old paperwork and then hit the sales! ♻️🛍️

No registration necessary.
In the event of rain, folks may postpone and set up on Sunday instead.

**If at least 10 people sign up, we'll bring coffee and donuts!!
